When I saw the spoiler images of the Clinique and Crayola Chubby Sticks appearing online a few weeks (maybe a month?) ago, I was more than a little in enamoured. Clinique‘s Chubby Sticks have been around for ages, but there is really no better brand to pair with than Crayola for these products! I mean, they already look like crayons!

Not unexpectedly, but just so you’re aware, this Clinique and Crayola team up is a limited edition collection. The collection features eight shades that  veer very much towards the pink and red side of things. While there are some lesser tinted shades, you won’t find a true nude in the bunch (when I say that, I mean something more brown/caramel in tone).

Although I’ve been aware of Clinique‘s Chubby Stick pencils for years, I’ve never actually tried them before now. These particular Chubby Sticks are branded as a “Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm” and they really do feel that way. They’re loaded with mango and shea butters and the end result is that you get a sheer wash of colour on the lips in a texture that feels akin to any other lip balm on the market. If you’re comfortable wearing lip balm, then these will feel no different to you!

As you can see from the three shades swatched above (Mauvelous, Wild Strawberry and Pink Sherbet), the tones are very much in the pink/red family. The colours are fairly sheer (the swatches were layered quite a bit) but the texture is quite balmy.

I don’t see quite as much mauve in this shade as I would expect for a shade named Mauvelous in the title, but it is absolutely stunning regardless!

My favourite of the three shades – Wild Strawberry! Gives that perfect “cherry popsicle” lip look!

I’m not a soft pink person, but I know a lot of people are going to love Pink Sherbet because it’s an easy to wear shade that will match a ton of eye looks!

Final Thoughts

Ummm I don’t know where I’ve been, but I’m happy to report that I am sitting comfy on the Clinique Chubby Stick bandwagon now. I love that these feel like lip balm – that’s an ENORMOUS selling point for me because it makes them super easy to apply. The bullets are also quite sturdy which means you’re not going to be slopping the lip colour all over the place while you’re applying it either.

The Clinique x Crayola colours are pretty basic in the grand scheme of things, but that’s not a downer. (And I really do like the added touch of the crayon look!) It means that they’ve got some great shades that are lot of people are going to enjoy wearing on the daily. Longevity is also fairly impressive, especially given the texture of these products. I get about two hours of wear before I feel like I need to refresh my lip colour. It does fade nicely, so you needn’t worry about that either! And, to top it all off, these are scent and taste free!

The Clinique x Crayola Chubby Sticks are limited edition and you can snap them up at sephora.ca for $21 CAD each or on sephora.com for $17 USD each. If you’re interested in trying out all of the shades, they even have a mini set of all eight colours!
